The Berkshires and Abby's birthday

Last weekend we went up to the Berkshires to have a nice relaxing weekend away. Nice little 2 bedroom suite for ourselves.

Here is Joe in the living room
the kitchen, fully stocked with every appliance so you can cook and not go out
Our room
Julia had her own room, TV, and bathroom! She was in heaven.

This is the view from the back porch

Very secluded

Friday night we went to play miniature golf. Julia really had a knack for it.

Next it was on to the pool for some swimming

Saturday morning Julia wanted to eat her breakfast in her room.

We got dressed and went to the pottery/bead shop and Julia made a necklace.

Easter weekend part 2

Here are the pictures from Easter day (in no particular order). We all piled into my in laws house for an amazing dinner. But not until after the kids found all of their Easter Eggs.
